Origins of Chocolate

Ever wondered, "where does chocolate come from?" Chocolate starts its journey as cacao beans, which are harvested from cacao trees predominantly found in the tropical regions along the Equator. These beans undergo a complex process of fermentation, drying, and roasting to develop the flavors that are transformed into the chocolate products you love.

Why Does Chocolate Turn White?

Have you ever noticed your chocolate sporting a white coating and wondered, "why does chocolate turn white?" This phenomenon, known as 'chocolate bloom', occurs due to the crystallization of sugar or fat in the chocolate. While it might affect the appearance, bloomed chocolate is still safe to eat. Storing chocolate in a cool, dry place helps prevent blooming. Learn more about proper food storage in our pantry section.

Can Cats Eat Chocolate?

It is imperative to know that cats and chocolate do not mix. Theobromine, a component found in chocolate, is toxic to cats even in small amounts.
